    I have put in a lot of long slow miles in the cumulus. It is not that good looking and not great for running fast, but it is reliable and and trustworthy. great for easy running

    Very good all around shoe. A huge improvement on the Cumulus16. Maybe not enough cushioning for long runs.

    The shoes are very comfortable with a nice roomy toe box. My other shoes are run are the most 4mm drop, those are 10 and I can feel that—maybe little too much for me. I use them for slow longer sessions or easy recovery runs. They do good job for that. This is my first Nimbus model, and I don't think I will buy them in the future again. I like something more flexible (maybe softer?).
